Veronica Yakovenko

Therapist

Virtual • California


I believe that understanding yourself is the first step toward creating meaningful change. I specialize in working with adults experiencing anxiety, ADHD, autism, and the unique challenges that can come with neurodivergence.

My passion for this work is deeply personal. As a woman diagnosed with ADHD at age 30, I understand firsthand how confusing and overwhelming it can be to navigate life with an ADHD brain—especially when your experiences weren’t recognized or understood earlier in life. I’m particularly passionate about supporting women and adults who are newly diagnosed and are beginning to make sense of themselves through a new lens. I also understand the complexities of parenting neurodivergent children while navigating your own neurodivergence.

I have extensive experience helping clients develop practical executive functioning skills, behavioral strategies, and systems to improve organization, time management, follow-through, and daily functioning. My goal is not to make you fit into a system that wasn’t designed for you, but to help you build strategies that work with the way your brain works.
